Hello- you don't need any fancy recipe for a trap............just a small glass with some apple cider vinegar,...cover the glass tightly with saran wrap...poke a very few small holes in it....the gnats get in and drown.....

Do you have any potting soil or anything like that in your house? I had a gnat problem last year and it took me a while to find where they were coming from. Sure enough, it was a bag of potting soil in my pantry.

mix 2-5 well in bowl. wipe edges cover tightly with cellophane poke itsy bitsy holes in cellophane with toothpick or exacto (slightly larger that a fruit fly body) set somewhere conspicuous to "gnats" It's like a roach motel for fruit flies. they smell the yummy and when they get inside, they can't get out.

And clean up (I had a similar problem last summer. worked like a charm. There must have been a few hundred in there by the time it was over.

It's surprising how little those beasts need to keep going and how long they'll run on nothing. Keep your trash sealed, keep your sink cleaned, hang flypaper, and if it's really bad consider chasing them with a flyswatter and/or vacuum cleaner. Periodically I've considered buying a bugzapper for _indoor_ use.
